My Outfit Monday: Old Faithful

So, I admit I kind of freaked when I was told that my first Deal Diva post would also double as my "My Outfit Monday" debut.

That being said, I decided to abide by the journalistic principle "KISS" (keep it simple, stupid) and stick with an old reliable.

And I do mean "old."

My top is a leftover from my college days of yore. I can't remember where I got it, but I'm guessing JCPenney.

I paired it with white capris. (Does that old-fashioned rule about not wearing white before Memorial Day really apply in sunny Florida? Eh, the holiday is close enough, I say). To battle the office chill, I threw on a lightweight black sweater, a thrift store purchase that I've also had for years.

I'm one of those self-described "unfortunate soles" wtih narrow feet, so I swear by my Mary Janes, which allow me to wear a heel but have a strap to keep me from literally walking right out of my shoes. I scored these for about $20 or $30 at Kohl's a few years back.

For color, I added a Payless watch with a pink face. I also decided to finally pull out a big pink New York & Company bag that's been hanging on my closet door since I purchased it circa 2010 during a half-off sale. The size makes it great for stashing a notebook, papers and, of course, snacks.
